Cinematography video feedback and learner response

 F eedback from Bush - EBI: spelling , add more description  WWW: POV from helmet , monochrome/ blur effec t , blur start and finish and parallel soundtrack  Feedback from students -  EBI : attention to detail and more description  WWW: post-production editing , use of audio - parallel , variety of different shot angles and props used  Reflection : my cinematography production was amazingly produced where I captured a POV in a helmet fitting the aesthetic of the editing. However, there are few areas to improve like my shot list correcting spelling error and adding more description although I wanted to keep an enigma code . My attempt to shot cut shot of the door could be more improved running in the correct time, overall my production was executed great and was fun to film it at 2am last minute as the pressure pushed my creativity.

Cinematography blog tasks

  Find the opening sequence to a film or TV drama of your choice on YouTube and e mbed the video in a blogpost called 'Cinematography blog tasks'.  Watch till 1.00 Eastenders   Eastenders is one of the best British soap tv program because not only the narrative is interesting , the cinematography of the different angle shots draws the audience in where in the video it starts as a close up on a letter it portrays the main suspense to build up and give an enigma mode , there is a lot of cut shots where its on one character to another. the second shot is an over the shoulder shot where we see 2 other characters and the women opening a letter, this gives the audience a feel of who's in the room and the setting. There's a lot of close up on an object paper related as it signifies a person of conflict who's given a present in this context. This gives the audience the setting and character based on shoulder shots and the close up gives the narrative away as well...

Conclave' Film Review

The films atmosphere immerses readers in the claustrophobic setting of the conclave, where secrecy and tradition collide with ambition and human frailty. Where the characters are portrayed with depth and moral complexity, standing apart from the political manoeuvring yet drawn into its intrigue. The film is tense, behind‑closed‑doors thriller about the election of a new Pope. It strips away the mystery of the Vatican ritual and shows the cardinals as flawed, ambitious and deeply human. Harris keeps the suspense tight, and the final twist lands with real impact. My favourite part is the ending as the plot twist was very unexpected and against the tradition in the time the film was set.

Sound video feedback and learner response

  1)  Mr Bush - WWW : used my own footage with variety of shots and included a very good opening                           -  EBI : to make my contrapuntal and parallel more clear in my video  2) Fellow students - all agreed on the use of my own videos and the choice of music I included and all agreed it was tricky to figure out what was parallel and contrapuntal   3) WWW - I think that my video was composed great as I used my own variety of videos , creating a montage of city and attraction life vs bhangra dance. The audio I used was 50 cent , Big rich town where I sped up my videos to match the tempo where he talks about power , looking over his city and adding bhangra videos , I though it would confuse as you would wonder what music am I dancing to.  EBI - After composing my video I realised that speeding the different videos didn't show the contrapuntal side and didn't have a ...

Sound analysis

Image
  1) Find a film clip on YouTube that uses sound in an interesting way. Analyse the use of sound, making sure you use the key language we have learned about sound in film: A Quiet Place   The Diegetic sound could be argued as well is the creature sound effects of growling as its part of the film and is happening in the clip.  The non-diegetic sound in this clip is the sounds the creature by the creature where one character is death and the audience can hear the noise it creates.   The Parallel sound is not really showed in this clip could say maybe the tv?    The contrapuntal sound is probably the girls hearing aid how the connections of the monster crashed due to the signal.  The Sound bridges are the growling of the monster and the tv9 screeching as it overlaps multiple scenes.   Remember to discuss/analyse all the different types of sound present in the clip: Music isn't fully presented in this clip   Dialogue isn't use...

Parallel and Contrapuntal Sound Practical Task

I've decided to do a montage based on videos where the first half is based on show casting attractions of the city/town where the piece of music is parallel of 50 cent ; 'big rich town'. Whereas the second half is videos of my professional cultural bhangra dance where the dance may seem to be parallel but my thinking behind it was that the videos of me dancing , would make you wonder what music is playing in the background. :) Enjoy x https://youtube.com/shorts/IRdQcBjHqU4?feature=share
